Introduction
This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) for NantHealth, Inc. (“NantHealth” or “we” or “our”) covers the reporting period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and is presented in accordance with Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”). This Report is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to our Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (the “Form SD”). A copy of this Report and the Form SD are publicly available on our website at http://ir.nanthealth.com/financial-information/sec-filings.
In 2010, the United States enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”). Section 1502 of the Act relates to conflict minerals and requires companies subject to the Act to file a Form SD annually with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to disclose whether the tungsten, tantalum, tin, and gold (referred to collectively as “3TG”) used in their products benefited, directly or indirectly, armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (collectively, the “Covered Countries”). This Report, which is an exhibit to our Form SD, describes the design and implementation of our conflict minerals due diligence measures undertaken in 2018, including a description of how these measures were designed to determine, to our knowledge, the source mines, countries of origin, and processing facilities for 3TG contained in components used in NantHealth’s products.
Background and Covered Products
NantHealth, together with its subsidiaries, is a healthcare IT company converging science and technology. The Company works to transform clinical delivery with actionable clinical intelligence at the moment of decision, enabling clinical discovery through real-time machine learning systems. The Company markets certain of its solutions as a comprehensive integrated solution that includes its molecular sequencing and analysis services, clinical decision support, and payer engagement solutions. The Company also markets molecular sequencing and analysis services, clinical decision support, payer engagement and connected care solutions. We do not manufacture our products but contract with third parties for their manufacture. Our supply chain is complex, and multiple tiers exist between the mines from which 3TG are extracted and its incorporation into our products. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined 3TG directly and make no purchases in the Covered Countries. As a result and as described more fully below, we rely on our suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in our products.
NantHealth Covered Products
Based upon the Company’s assessment, the Company has determined that its HBox has the potential to contain 3TG as it contains printed circuit assemblies and other electromechanical components that are generally known to contain small amounts of tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold. HBox is manufactured according to NantHealth specifications by contract manufacturers over whom the Company has influence and, thus, falls within the scope of Rule 13p-1 as a product manufactured by NantHealth.





Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
In accordance with Rule 13p-1 and Form SD, NantHealth determined that 3TG are necessary to the functionality or production of HBox and that 3TG are incorporated into HBox during the manufacturing process. Accordingly, we undertook a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”).
NantHealth’s RCOI consisted principally of submitting to its suppliers the conflict minerals reporting template (the “RMI Template”) prepared by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), an initiative of the Responsible Business Alliance and Global e-Sustainability Initiative. NantHealth submitted the RMI Template to all of its contract manufacturers. NantHealth then reviewed all responses for completeness, reasonableness, and consistency, and followed up for corrections and clarifications as NantHealth determined appropriate.
Based on NantHealth’s RCOI, NantHealth was unable to determine that the 3TG used in its products did not originate in Covered Countries.
Due Diligence Process

Management Systems
The Company has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy, which can be found on the Company’s website at http://ir.nanthealth.com/corporate-governance/highlights. In the negotiation of future contracts, consistent with the Company’s Conflict Minerals Policy, the Company intends to include provisions to encourage conflict-free sourcing. Given the limited number of suppliers whose products contain Conflict Minerals, other systems, such as codes of conduct, training programs or grievance mechanisms, have been deemed to be unnecessary.

Identification and Assessment of Risks

The Company has established a product oriented approach to evaluating due diligence, enabling the identification of large classes of products which have no risk of containing 3TG, and thus are not subject to due diligence. Due to the small number of remaining products (HBox), the Company has been able to readily assess the risk of each through the RCOI process described above and conclude that these products and manufacturers require further due diligence.


Response to Identified Risks

The Company is in direct dialogue with the contract manufacturers of HBox, and it intends to build upon this dialogue in the future. These manufacturers are reliant upon information provided to them by their suppliers. The Company intends to continue to pursue information regarding 3TG in the supply chain for HBox. If a contract manufacturer does not cooperate with the Company’s due diligence efforts, it will be reported to the Chief Operating Officer and potential actions will be considered. If a supplier is identified that is not free of conflict minerals, such findings will be reported to the Chief Operating Officer and, at a minimum, the Company intends to encourage the contract manufacturer to identify an alternative supplier of the related component.

Independent Audit of Smelter Due Diligence Practices

As contract manufacturers are able to trace supplier 3TG to the specific smelters from which they were sourced, the contract manufacturers and the Company reference the RMI’S Responsible Minerals Assurance Program (“RMAP”) as a source of independent audit information about these specific smelters.

Annual Reporting

In compliance with the Rule 13p-1, NantHealth intends to report to the SEC annually regarding supply chain due diligence on Form SD and provide a Conflict Minerals Report to the extent it is required.
Smelters and Refiners in Supply Chain
We adopted RMI’s industry approach to trace back the origin of 3TG by identifying smelters, refineries, or recyclers and scrap supplier sources through our supply chain survey results. NantHealth leveraged RMI and the RMAP to trace the mine of origin of the 3TG to its ore level. The RMAP audits smelters and refineries to ensure that all certified smelters and refineries use only the ores that are conflict free from the Covered Countries. Based on information that was provided by





our manufacturers or that was otherwise obtained through our due diligence process, we believe, to the extent reasonably determinable, that the following facilities were used to process 3TG contained in our covered products.
We have also provided information concerning (i) whether the smelter participates in the RMAP and has been audited or whether it has agreed to participate in the RMAP but the audit process has not yet been completed, (ii) whether the gold refiner is a London Bullion Market Association accredited refiner on the Good Delivery List, and (iii) whether the gold refiner is a Responsible Jewellery Council Certified Member.
